How to report potholes in Langley
Who you report to depends on where the pothole is. For streets inside the City of Langley, contact the City's public works department directly through the official city site at city.langley.bc.ca. The adjacent Township of Langley (a separate municipality covering the surrounding area) has a dedicated online form at webforms.tol.ca/311/Report-a-Problem under Roads and Transportation. If the pothole is on a provincial highway like Highway 1 or Highway 10, that's the responsibility of Mainroad Lower Mainland, the province's maintenance contractor for this region, reachable at lm@mainroad.ca or through DriveBC at drivebc.ca.
RoadRot doesn't forward anything to the city or province on your behalf. What it does is put your report on a public map where the community can confirm it, which builds a visible, documented record. If you want to push harder, the built-in email-your-rep tool helps you send a complaint directly to your municipal or provincial representative about a specific pothole.
Common questions
Who is responsible for fixing potholes in Langley, BC?
It depends on which Langley and which road. The City of Langley handles its own local streets, while the Township of Langley (the separate surrounding municipality) manages its own road network. Provincial highways like Highway 1 and Highway 10 fall under the BC Ministry of Transportation and Transit, with day-to-day repairs handled by the contracted maintainer, Mainroad Lower Mainland.
How do I report a pothole in the City of Langley?
The City of Langley's official contact for public works issues is through its website at city.langley.bc.ca. If you're in the Township of Langley (the surrounding municipality), use the Township's online report form at webforms.tol.ca/311/Report-a-Problem. For provincial highway potholes, contact Mainroad Lower Mainland at lm@mainroad.ca or report through DriveBC.
What's the worst time of year for potholes in Langley?
Late winter through early spring is typically the roughest stretch. Langley's inland Fraser Valley location means it gets more overnight freezing than central Metro Vancouver, and after a season of repeated freeze-thaw cycles, pavement deterioration tends to show up clearly by February and March. That's usually when the worst surface damage becomes visible.
How do I claim vehicle damage caused by a pothole in British Columbia?
You'd typically need to file a claim with the road authority responsible for that stretch of road, and your documentation matters a lot: photos of the pothole, photos of the damage, the date and location, and any repair receipts. In BC, claims against municipal roads go to the city or township, while provincial highway claims go to the Ministry of Transportation and Transit. Be aware that road authorities can be difficult to hold liable unless you can show they had prior notice of the hazard.
Does RoadRot send my pothole report to the City of Langley automatically?
No. RoadRot posts your report to a public map where anyone can see it and confirm it, but nothing gets sent to the city automatically. If you want the city to know, you still need to use their official reporting channel or use RoadRot's email-your-rep tool to send a message directly to your local representative about the specific pothole.
